    Congratulations to Paddy and good luck to him. Clearly not a like for like for Steven May more a replacement for a McAdam / Melksham. Just goes to show the more attacking mindset and philosophy of the new coach which is refreshing for both players and supporters.

    The last electrician country boy we signed via Casey Demons worked out pretty well with 6 goals in the GF so have a good feeling about this one too! Welcome Paddy

    Plays like Will Hayward. Medium forward who is strong overhead and a good kick.

    Not sure.

    But I know they've got their April/Easter photo for the MFC calendar sorted - a picture of an oiled up Paddy flexing his biceps.

    The tag line will read:

    Hot Cross Guns!

    so given we have to have min 36 on primary list and we had max number of rookies, how do we fit Paddy in?

    judging by his photos his got a bit of gym work to do before he can join Jack Viney, Kozzie Pickett and Brodie Mihocek in the Gun Club

    Awesome news! Paddy’s the eldest of five boys. I was talking with his mum at the North praccy and she said they were all hoping like hell he’d get on the seniors list, and he has!

    Also great news that it’s not an ACL for Luker!

    Jamie Elliott with a few extra cm in height and a few hundred less AFL goals.

    Kick mark forward is his bread and butter but has rotated on to a wing at Casey and hopefully can play more half forward too.

    Love this.

    Reminds me so much of Fritsch with his marking and goal sense ability

    Welcome Paddy!

    Happy to be proven wrong but I don’t think that’s an issue after the list lodgements after the draft.

    Senior list player goes on the Inactive List, you get an extra rookie spot regardless of the main/rookie split.

    26 goals in 29 Casey games (and reasonably accurate: 14 behinds)

    And 22 of the goals came in the last 14 games (with improved accuracy: 8 behinds)

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
